Ok, don’t usually leave a comment but I just caught up on your blog and your reply to Stephanie’s comment was priceless. You were far kinder than I would have been. I congratulate you on your decorum and adultness(word?). I may have (kindly?) suggested she move onto another blog if mine was so disappointing. I believe your response ranks as the best response ever. Period. And shame on you, Stephanie. Take the nasty elsewhere.

Well, I’m clearly not the first, but I have to comment on the “Uffda” as well. When I was a kid, my parents had a friend that came to visit us in South Dakota. The friend was from Arizona. We don’t use “uffda” that much (I don’t think), but this lady had never heard it before and just thought that it was the funniest word she had ever heard. She made fun of us for it for years afterward…we sent her an button that said ‘UFFDA!’ and she thought it was hilareous!

Can’t believe how many “uffda” comments you’ve received. We have a treasured coffee cup from my grandparents (Czechoslovakian) that we love. “Uffda” brought back a flood of loving memories of them today.

Had to tell you. Only you would understand my excitment. I will be in the second row (I know it’s not the first but…..)of the Michael Buble’ concert in Chicago. I feel that he might see me there in the second row and be so drawn to me that he will ask me to be his forever. It won’t matter that my husband will be next to me in the second row. See, you understand right?
